“I Really Wish I Could Have Directed Sridevi”: Karan Johar

Filmmaker Karan Johar, who is known for working with several renowned celebrities and making a career of aspiring actors, said it was his dream to direct late female superstar Sridevi, which remained unfulfilled.

“I’m her huge fan. When she (Sridevi) passed away this year, I was like this is not fair. I used to say she is the one actor I really want to direct and I would have done something with her in my writing and directorial existence. I just love her. She is one actor who updated her craft,” Johar said on Saavn’s entertainment-based audio show “Take 2 with Anupama and Rajeev” podcast which will be televised on Monday.

Johar did not get a chance to direct the ‘Hawa Hawai’ girl of Bollywood, but he launched her daughter Janhvi Kapoor in film Dhadak.

Talking about Sridevi’s acting, Karan said he was blown away by her performance in English Vinglish.
